Joining Ghostbusters 2

The Call is Answered

I wake up from the second faint and reach for my phone. I try to find where I stored twitter as I rarely use it.

It opens up with 2380 notifications on the bell icon and 8 inbox messages. I scroll through and find the following mind blowing

notification 1 - Paul Feig liked loved your tweet

notification 2 - Paul Feig retweeted your tweet

notification 3 - Melissa McCarthy retweeted

Inbox message: Paul Feig; Hi Bobbie86au - We saw that you may have an interesting character idea. We would love to find out more. Please email ....

This is nuts, its was just a tweet among thousands.

I send an email off nervously expressing my gratitude and explaining the character idea I have and the role in the sequel. Its probably all convoluted but I hit send and sit back in amazement.

The next hours and days are filled with euphoria. I keep it to myself and day dream what may happen, but reality busts in and reports are due at work so I snap out of it and focus on whats bringing in the money.

During a meeting at work I get an email notice on my phone, the screen lights up "Email from Paul.Feig". A little excited "HA" escapes my mouth before I could catch it. Everyone looks at me. Uhoh

"Excuse me" - I say sheepishly. Not wanting my boss to glare at me any longer for interrupting her.

The meeting drags on another 45 minutes and I rush out and check my emails at my desk.

"Hi Bobbie,

Thank you for your fantastic ideas regarding the character, we are excited to invite you to New York for a meeting with myself and some other writers. We would like to see where this character can go. We will cover all costs. Get that passport ready! We would like to see you here in 3 weeks.

Regards Paul"

Oh this is a dream come true!

Ive always loved New York but never have been able to afford it. Being a personal assistant takes up alot of time but doesnt pay those efforts.

I slump over on my desk in disbelief, going over everything, wondering if my passport has any validity left.

"ROBYN! What in tarnation was that back there!" Yelled my boss Alison. "What is with you today!? Lazing about on the job?"

"Sorry Alison - just out of character today" I say with a cheeky grin "I will get back to it".

Days fly by. I have arranged time off with Alison, I found my passport at mums and it has 12 months left on it. Fantastic. Ive got confirmation regarding flights and accommodation.

I start to get nervous about my idea and write everything down.

Character looks, mannerisms, favorite sayings. The role she plays. How she is introduced to each of the Ghostbusters and just what the relationship is like with big ol' Kev. I start to think about the relationships developing with the other Ghostbusters. Could she butt heads with one of them, could she fall in love with Holtzmann?

Tell her she's dreamin
